Student Steps to Complete the Work-Study Placement Process

• Student creates an account on COCCStudentJobs  to search for jobs.
• Student finds a job of interest and contacts the  Contact Person according to instructions.
• Student must complete Federal Work-Study Employment Application  and submit to the Contact Person.
• Contact Person schedules an interview with student.

If the student is offered the position, the supervisor provides the student with the Work-Study Employment Packet.  This packet includes:

• Work-Study Referral Contract Form 

• Employee Payroll Information

• W-4 Form  

• I-9 Form 

• Confidentiality Agreement 

• Work Study Requirements List

• Student completes Work-Study Employment Packet and returns the completed packet to the supervisor for review.  Once the supervisor ensures all information is complete, the job application and a copy of the student's work study award letter will be added and the packet will be sent to the CAP Center for processing.
•  CAP Center accepts the completed packet, confirms the student's work-study eligibility, distributes copies of forms, and notifies student and supervisor by email that the student is eligible to begin working.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Your I-9 form needs to be completed and signed in the presence of your supervisor.  You must verify your identity with a picture driver's license and social security card OR a valid passport.
• A student is not eligible to begin work until all Work-Study Employment Packet forms are completed and the work-study supervisor is notified.
• Hired students must complete the online Federal Work Study Employee Orientation AND the COCC Sexual Harassment Training within one week of hire.  Failure to do so will result in termination of contract.

                           ALL PAPERWORK MUST BE LEGIBLE AND COMPLETE.
